    I said it before. Put the radiator in the bed, or on the roof.

    Well you Lair Dwellers, I finally finished my cap and got it back on. It turned out exactly how I expected and Jerry's @UntamedTaco cap was the inspiration. When Randall bedlined his whole truck I had the confidence to do the cap.

    Before the windows were back in.

    Hmmmm. I found a used cap for my truck, but wrong color. This would work though....

    Jerry @UntamedTaco had his LineX'd. It looks great. I just wanted to keep the cost lower by doing it myself. So far I'm in for about $1k including the cap price. That's 1/3 the cost of a new one.

    great mind think alike. I made a wider one of them to load kayaks many moons ago so I did not have to remove the roof tent.

    yes it’s funny, haven’t had to replace my tail lights once. Mirrors, that’s another story.

    Yeah I’m probably going to widen it at some point so I can carry lumber up there

    I’m on my third mirror on my drivers side. You were there at aoaa for one of them getting ripped off.

    My little project for today was adding these side bars for my bumper. First time bending with the bender, and it wasn’t too bad. We’ll see how it goes once I get into more than two bends.

    yep haha. Good thing is aftermarket ones are cheap. Got me thinking I might put the tube doors back on for the summer, can’t rip off a mirror if there are none to start with :rofl:

    I just like to give Randall shit about hoops......well, or the lack thereof. :thumbsup:

    However, sounds like you could both use some mirror hoops ;)

    I'm trying to convince my buddy Rich to let me drive his around the parking lot. His front suspension costs as much as my tacoma.
